THEY SAY THAT,

Langston made a speech at the
Bethel political meeting.
He praised Douglass whom he
dislikes.
Fred. Douglass, Jr., is an honor
able young man.
All men are not honorable.
Men make all kinds of promises
when they are in a hole.
We forget what we say after be-
ing aided by our friends.
Great men generally stick to
what they are, but small men don't.
such was Gloster's ambition to
obtain tue English thrown.
He was eventually overthrown by
the Duke Of Buckingham.
A dishonest man never succeeds.
All men are honest until they
are proven to the contrary.
Alex. Powell has been honest
with his friends.
We often misjudge a mans mo-
tives.
Never condemn a friend should
he make one mistake.
Although Powell may have
made a mistake, he was honest.
Others have shown their hand
presuming they had flush.
A full hand will beat a flush.
Honest men always hold full

During the debate upon the
adoption of the resolutions many
violent expressions were used,
and &c. Cox and Arthur st. A.
Smith had to be separated by the
police. The question was finally
put and the Chase resolutions
adopted by very decided majori-
ty, and much to the chagrin of the
Carson element, who had been
clearly outwitted by H. Price Will
liams, w. H. Barker, Jacob strath-
er and ST. A. Smith. Nothing
daunted, however, Mr.. Carson ap-
pointed a committee on resolutions,
which reported a set the very
antithesis of those already adopt
ed, and over these the contending
factions wrangled with each other
without any legitimate decision
until the meeting closed, and the
police cleared the hall.-Daily

q libel on the seven millions of
Negroes in this country, and the
many millions In Africa, Austria
liza, and the West India islands to
call this farce "Colored Worlds
Exposition" especially so when
these millions know nothing of
such movement. The eolOred
papers are speaking favorably of
1t because they just don't under
stand what gigantic fraud it is.
The New Orleans exposition with
experienced hands at It's head,
with its thousands of dollars from
private sources, gifts from Mexico
and other countries aud large ap-
preparations from Congress, with
several years to erect buildings
and notify exhibitors was a fail

few months to notify the World

people of the United States get

The meeting of the colored citi-
zens called to indorse the action of
the Senate in rejecting j. G. Mat
thews as Recorder of Deeds for the
District met persuant to call last
Tuesday night at the Capital City
Guard army, on E street, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets
northwest, and a most disgraceful
and exciting scene followed
throughout its session. The meet
ing was called to order by Marcel
lus West, the signer of the "call," "
who, seeing that the majority of
those present were opposed to in
dorsiDg the action of the Senate,
determined, as he said, upon the
instruction of his committee, to
put Mr.. Perry Carson in the chair,
and this act was the signal for
cries OF "Why not elect a chairman
from this meeting?n "Let us have
man chosen by the citizens pres.
ent and not one pushed into au-
thority by the committee" But
Mr.. Carson took the chair and
proceeded to state the object of the
meeting, which he said was to in
dorSe the action of the Republi-
can party as represented by the
Senate of the United states.
Mr.. w. G.. Chase then arose and
attempted to offer some resolutions,
but Mr.. Carson would not recog-
nize him until the cries of ''Let
him read them !" became so deaf
ening that nothing else could BE-
done. Chase then proceeded with
the reading, when Carson, West,
Cox, Archy Lewis and others arose
and attacked him in a threatening
manner, and then 'sliar" and other
vile epithets passed. The police
had to be called in to prevent
bloodshed. Order was restored and
Chase then read the following res
Olutions:
WHEREAS, it is claimed that the
principle of Home Rule should ob,
tain in the matter of the appoint
ment to the Office of Recorder OF
Deeds for this District, when that
principle has not been considered
in the confirmation of numerous
appointments to positions in the
Territories, and
WHEREAS, the only true principle
of Home Rule for the District OF
Columbia consists in all the people
white and black, rich and poor
having voice and. vote in selecting
their public officers, Therefore be il
RESOLVED, That Hon.J. J. ingalls,
chairman of the Senate District
committee, be and he is hereby re.
spectfully requested to prepare and
present to the Senate of the United
States bill declaring all local Of

right Of suffrage to our, disfran
chised, unprotected and prosecuted
people.

A Wise Doc.

Sidewalk Stroller" in the Chicago Ecening
Journal, writes: "a long line of carriages was
standing in front of store on Madison street, and
as was passing, small black-and tan-pet dog
ran out of the store. He held up one foot and
looked bewildered for moment, and then ran to
the carriage at one end of the procession, and
smeed the hoof of the right fore foot of of the
horses. He then went to the second carriage and
smeed the hoof of the right fore foot of one of its
horses. Then he took the next carriage, and then
the next, until he had taken in the fifth carriage,
when he nimbly jumped into it, curled himself up
on the seat, and went to sleep. That was his way
of finding out which was the carriage of his mis-
tress, who soon afterward came out of the store,
and got into the same carriage. The fact that the
horses hoof was made of horn, and that it had
been plunged into all sorts of mire, all over the
streets was nothing to him that particular hoof
smeled differently to him from any other horses
hoof in the world, and no other smell could be ap-
piled to it which would eace that peculiar SMELL. p

Result of High License in Chicago.

- CHtcugO IHteT-OceuH.
Perhaps no city has given high license more
thorough test than Chicago. Under the operation
of the high license law the revenue derived from
saloon licenses has increased from $780, per
annum to nearly 100000. The former rate
was $50 per annum. It is now $500. Under the
old rate there were in 1882 nearly 1000 saloons
in the city. There are now 5000, not very
signal diminution in number apparently, but it is
to be remarked in explanation that the city has
grown enormously in population and in business
since 1882, and, moreover, considerable area of
territory has since been added. Had the former
low license prevailed up to the present there would
have been fully 5000 saloons in Chicago.

It Should Have Been Done Long Ago.


An effort will probably be made in the next Con-
gress to adopt stringent measures to restrict i'm
migration, SO as to keep out the pauper labor that
is continually coming to our shores. Representa-
tive Butterworth has given this subject careful
study and Investigation, and he will probably be
prepared to introduce resolution on this subject
during the early hours of the Fiftieth Congress.
Mr.. Butterworth takes the ground that the Amer
lean manufacturers are protected to certain de-
gree against the products of European pauper Ia
Dor, and therefore American labor should be pro-
tected against pauper immigration. He holds
that it is not just to say to Europe, "You must pay
duty on your products, but we will let your pau
pers come to our country Free" He thinks the
United States is stocked with foreigners and
Mr.. Butterworth says the time has arrived for US
TO cry "Halt until those we have with us are pro-
vided for, or able to provide for themselves. We
are not bound to receive company, he says, until
our house has accommodations for them.

Trouble with the "Crawford System"
ReInir Enia.

1t is obvious that if the Democratic party in
Hartford county continues to nominate its candi-
dates by the Crawford county system our delegates
to the Legislature must secure the passage of a
law to legalze these elections, making it misde-
meanor, punishable. by fine and imprisonment, to
bride voters with money or whisky. Ifsomething
Of this kind is not done the party will be virtually
destroyed here. A change to the old convention
system has been suggested, but that affords no ad-
equate remedy, since it leaves everything in the
hands Of themanagers and ce-seekers, the voters
themselves having very little voice in the matter
